Original
description:
Pocock, 1902c: 65, plate 12 figs 9, 9a:
"♀
Differing from A. stolli [sic] principally in colour; head-plate deep
chocolate-brown, ocular tubercle black, without median pale band; mandibles
infuscate above, with three deeper-coloured dark stripes; abdomen coloured
like that of A. stolli [sic], but the lateral integument adjacent to
the tergal plates paler, hence the dark area of the plates stands out more
boldly as a pair of isolated bands; palpi entirely infuscate, except
the basal half of the femur; first leg lightly infuscate, second, third, and
fourth legs deeply infuscate, with no distinct pale ring around the distal
end of the tibia of the fourth leg. Mandibles with dentition as
in A. stolli [sic]. Length and spine-armature of legs as
in that species.
♂ Resembling the female in colour, and like the male of A. stolli [sic], but
the cylindrical and other bristles on the palpi less numerous.
Measurements in mm. - ♀ Total length 18; width of head 4; length of
palp 12, of fourth leg 14. ♂ Total length 15; width of head 3; length
of palp and of fourth leg 16.
DISTRIBUTION: Guatemala.
NOTES: Roewer (1934) regarded
this species as a synonym of Ammotrecha stollii Pocock 1895.
